It's just rhythms and pitches really, in a sequence. But we don't love patterns, a scale sounds boring. It's the breaking of the patterns that sound good in music, but only in specific ways. Other ways sound discordant. What the duck is going on?

I like a lot of different music and I also like harsh noise, when it's adventurous like Merzbow. It sounds discordant, but it sounds great and I enjoy listening to it. Maybe you should go more fundamental, "why do we humans like information entropy" or something like that.
